Davy, a jaded college sophomore, has been struggling to keep up with her work and social life as she faces an illness she’s written off as a cold. As her symptoms escalate, her TikTok influencer roommate April and budding “situationship” Carter encourage her to get help. But Davy’s hopes for an easy recovery fade when her doctor urgently requests she seek follow-up testing. Unable to face a potentially devastating diagnosis, Davy ignores her doctor’s recommendations and soon starts spiraling in this intimate, folk-punk musical about the value of survival in a world weighed down by grief, loneliness, and fears of an uncertain future.
